The development of alternative methods to address simple clinical needs and easy interventions of self-application are desired in the pre-habilitation period (waiting list). To our knowledge that are very few studies regarding interventions for patients in waiting list for specialized treatment of chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) and they do not include cognitive-behavioural programs. This project is based on the hypothesis that educational and cognitive-behavioural interventions help to reduce deleterious effects of pain on some areas of patient's life.
